Abstract The occlusal design plays a decisive role in the fabrication of dental restorations. Dentists and dental technicians
depend on mechanical simulations of mandibular movement that are as accurate as possible, in particular, to
produce interference-free yet chewing-efficient dental restorations. For this, kinetic data must be available, i.e.,
movements and deformations under the influence of forces and stresses. In the present study, so-called functional
data were collected from healthy volunteers to provide consistent information for proper kinetics. For the latter
purpose, biting and chewing forces, electrical muscle activity and jaw movements were registered synchronously,
